New article about Emma, harmed by a benzodiazepine prescribed for tinnitus, featuring our medical director, Nicole Lamberson, PA. Despite being educated, it misuses addiction language. Nonetheless, Nicole raises awareness about akathisia and the harm. dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
The author of this Daily Mail piece, Katinka Blackford Newman, launched a petition to persuade suicide prevention services in the UK to ask callers if they have gone on, changed dose or come off meds. Sign the petition here: change.org/p/get-suicide-…
The solution to benzo harm is to not become physically dependent in the first place. Next is try to taper slower, but most doctors won’t know how, a gap that harms many. Once the neuro harm is done, avoid GABA drugs and hope to heal, amounting to years of avoidable suffering.

…fortunately her GP immediately took her off it.
My Mum was put on ‘anti psychotics’ aged 90 when discharged from hospital (broken shoulder) to her care home, without being told! When I looked at her chart and challenged it I was told ‘We put all the old dears on them when they leave. Helps with transition’

@taperclinic Jesus they tried to poly drug her with several drugs that form dependence to help her get off one drug that forms dependence. Healthcare personnel are really undereducated on the risks of dependence with these drugs

@hannahspierMD @Mad_In_America @BZInfoCoalition Technically true. The harm caused from benzos taken as prescribed is not addiction, but physical dependence and neurological damage.
